This week's Muse inspiration is whimsical and fun - I hope you'll get a chance to play along. Here's Therese's card:
I focused on the fun feeling of the card. I used the same colours, in bolder shades and changed the animal to these adorable birds that I found in the Michael's $1.50 bin the other day. I used horizontal stripes and embossed them for some added dimension. (That's the MFT Grosgrain Ribbon texture plate again - it's so useful!)
I love how the grosgrain gives the touch of texture. Great take on the Muse!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn (didn't) that those strips were actual ribbon. WOW!!! Great take on the Muse!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the Muse! The colors are so striking and the grossgrain adds so much great texture...love the dash of sparkle on the birds, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun and happy card! Love the way you were inspired!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, vibrant, fun! I'm sure that your use of that fabulous grossgrain die have shot the sales of same through the roof!!!

Bold and gorgeous Ardyth!

Your card is fantastic, Ardy! I'm so torn over that die. I've had it on my wish list since the first time you used it, but then I remember how much grosgrain actual ribbon I have and I hesitate. Aacckk! If nothing else, your use of that die provides wonderful inspiration for ways I can use up my ribbon, so thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I do like the texture on the ribbon and the sparkle on the birds!
ReplyDeleteOoh do like this, the colours, birds, glittery shimmer & the grosgrain !
ReplyDeleteWow, this is one amazing card! I love those birds and your bright colors, so fun and festive.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the grosgrain was actual ribbon - it looks so real! Your card is striking in its simplicity, Ardyth. The shine on the birds also add that little touch of OOMPH! Nice!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS card Ardyth - love your glittery birds :)
ReplyDeleteI love those birds Ardyth and that ribbon die is awesome - it looks like real grosgrain!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bright colours - love the birds!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, Ardyth. I thought that was grosgrain ribbon! I thought there is no way I could cut ribbon so neatly...but maybe MFT can remedy that- and I am only 45 minutes from the store this week...hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYour card is fantastico!
It's always a pleasure to see how you translate each element to your own card! Totally fooled on the grosgrain again. The accountant in me is always to happy to see everything precisely laid out ... your spacing is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright, sweet card. Very cute.
